Blue Ocean Waves

Serene aquas and cool blues rule in quilt tester Laura Boehnke's tranquil wall hanging made with the Spa collection from Timeless Treasures. Soft prints and large floral fabrics result in Ocean Waves blocks with less defined edges, adding to the relaxed feel of the piece. Although you'll be able to make the 44-1/2"-square quilt in a hurry, its calm colors invite you to slow down and simply enjoy the process.
